"It is requested that everyone maintains a level of silence and respect",says the soldier as he stops in stance and demands silence from a disrespectful crowd w/ rifle out front.

You could have heard a dime drop that day.

People should should show respect for the dead.

There is no shame in this country.

Ain't that the truth. Not since November, 1992.

If I had the $$ I could hire several retired Marines to go about with me pointing out the many and vast failings of decency, decorum and common sense that I see every day.

Great this was caught and I hope it gets played widely!

That bayonet should have been put to good use with those low lifes.

Although I’d hate to see an honorable blade like that stained with the low-hemoglobin blood of such dirt bags.

Then again, that’s why they make kerosene to clean up after the fact.

Decorum is all but lost among certain cultures. Just go to an inner city graduation and you’ll witness what I’m talking about...

For some reason people today act as if they are on the set of Jerry Springer regardless of where they are.

The veneer of civilization is very thin. Every day there are many examples. It would have been interesting to see what would have transpired if the moron had kept going.
